For universities and colleges
Tenderscape for universities and colleges
Research and faculty buying is spread across many budget holders, most of whom buy only now and then. Tenderscape gives each of them a simple quote process that stays inside your rules, and gives procurement one view of it all.

What we hear from your colleagues
Many occasional buyers
Academics and administrators who buy a few times a year don’t know the rules, and shouldn’t have to.
Frameworks go unused
Agreements already in place, such as those from APUC, are missed because the person buying doesn’t know they exist.
Colleges have new duties
Regional colleges are community wealth building partners, so their local spend counts towards each council area’s target.
How Tenderscape helps
- Framework checker
Upload the frameworks you use, such as APUC agreements. Tenderscape shows any that might cover a request before anyone goes to market.
- Suppliers beyond the usual few
Occasional buyers can discover potentially suitable suppliers for each request, including ones other public bodies already use. Your team checks suitability before inviting or awarding.
- Templates with your questions
Templates provide your standard questions and terms; your team checks each quote before sending it.
- Microsoft sign-in
Staff sign in with their existing Microsoft account. Nothing to install.
- Contracts register
Every contract in one place, with alerts before it ends, so renewals don’t become emergencies.
